Bill Summary
Teacher certification; directing the State Department of Education to implement certification pilot program.
AI Summary
This bill directs the State Department of Education to implement a pilot program for new and innovative pathways to teacher certification. The program will allow approved providers to offer alternative teacher preparation programs that focus on practical training and real-world experience, rather than traditional academic requirements. The bill outlines the criteria providers must meet to participate, such as demonstrating financial solvency, data security, and a research-based curriculum. The State Board of Education will oversee the pilot program and can suspend or revoke approval for providers that fail to meet the requirements. The pilot program is set to end by July 1, 2024.
